Nepal in Turmoil: PM Modi Condemns Violence, India Issues Helpline

The Prime Minister has reacted to the escalating violence in Nepal, expressing his deep concern and sorrow over the loss of life amid protests. These protests, largely involving Gen-Z, were sparked by issues of corruption and a ban on social media. Despite the ban being lifted, unrest continues. After a security meeting, PM Modi underscored the importance of Nepal’s stability and peace. The Indian government has responded by issuing an advisory to its citizens and increasing security measures along the border, including heightened patrols by the Armed Border Force and thorough checks on those entering from Nepal.
